Finally somebody asks Barack Obama the questions that matter. An interviewer for KGAN, a CBS affiliate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, wants to know:
If you are elected and you learned that the government knew aliens had visited earth and the public didn't know, would you ensure the public found out?
Obama -- who you'd have forgiven for exploding in fury at having to waste time fielding questions from knuckleheads while he's a little busy, you know, running for president of the United States -- handles it with panache:
Well, it depends on what these aliens were like, and whether they were Democrats or Republicans.
If you're interested, here's another classy moment from KGAN's recent past -- an incident involving a cameraman that gave rise to the observation that "urinating behind a statue of Mary in a Catholic cemetery within clear view of a public road, not to mention the numerous members of the army who were on hand for [a] funeral, is inexcusable."
